Asian Turkey Pot Stickers

1/2 c chopped scallions
2 tbspn grated fresh ginger root
1 lb ground turkey
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp tasted sesame oil
24 square wonton wrappers
1 c chicken broth

finely chop scallions and ginger
in large bowl combine turkey, scallions, ginger, worcestershire sauce and sesame oil
lay dumpling skins on counter
place spoonful of turkey mixture into the middle of each skin
moisten the edges of the skins and fold together to make a triangle
heat oil in large skillet
place full wraps in skillet until browned on both sides
add some chicken broth and cover the pan to steam the dumplings all the way through
steam until all liquid is absorbed


*it makes quite a few dumplings. i used the pampered chef family skillet and had to fill it 3 times. each time i added about 1/3 c of the chicken broth to steam the dumplings and then removed them to a plate. i placed waxed paper between the layers b/c the steamed/fried wonton wrappers can stick to each other very easily. if you just want them c rispy try not adding the chicken broth, although i like the chewy texture it makes.

dipping sauce:

1/4 soy sauce
3 tbspn rice vinegar or lemon juice (we used apply cider vinegar b/c that's what we had)
2 tsp sesame oil


dip the dumplings in the sauce and enjoy! i made white rice with the left over chopped scallions in it and broccoli. it suggests making a grated carot salad by grating 1 bag carrots, adding golden or dark raisens and a vinaigrette dressing.
